Chapter 19

Taking Care of Others’ Children

Qi Yan stood at the side like an invisible person the entire time, her gaze fixed on Meng Chuyuan.

Especially when Qi Zhen’s expression changed just now, she was a little curious. When did he become familiar with this woman?

After a while, Meng Chuyuan retracted her gaze and said with a smile, “We’re almost done.”

Qi Zhen smiled bitterly. “You guys are so fast.”

“Not really. You guys can do it too.” With that, Meng Chuyuan left the hoe for them and walked towards Lu Jinsen.

[Ah ah ah ah ah, Sister Meng, I love the way she treats everyone equally.]

[What should I do!! I’m about to fall in love with that woman who abandoned the hoe and left.]

[She’s helping others while completing her mission.]

[I just scolded this woman for being late! I didn’t expect her to be so kind.]

Lu Jinsen finished pouring a bucket of water onto the soil and was about to fetch another bucket when he turned around and saw Meng Chuyuan. However, he chose to ignore her and brushed past Meng Chuyuan with the bucket.

Meng Chuyuan opened her mouth. She had wanted to ask him how far he had progressed, but Lu Jinsen did not even look at her.

Not long after, Lu Jinsen returned with a bucket of water and went to the field, still not paying attention to the woman beside him.

Through the screen, the audience in the live stream could feel how awkward the atmosphere was.

[According to my many years of experience, Young Master has a temper, hahahaha.]

[He’s probably angry about planting seeds in the ground just now. Lu Jinsen is a vengeful person.]

[How dare Lu Jinsen ignore his sister-in-law.]

[If you ignore her now, you won’t be able to reach her in the future, hahaha.]

[Lu Jinsen, it’s not too late to apologize now. Hahahaha, otherwise who will cook for you later when you’re hungry.]

Meng Chuyuan saw that he had deliberately ignored her twice. Not only was she not angry, but she also walked to the cornfield next door with a relaxed expression.

A young couple was busy in the cornfield. The woman carried a bamboo basket in front of her and a crying child behind her. Meng Chuyuan happened to see this scene, so she came over.

“Do you need help?” Meng Chuyuan asked.

The woman looked at her in surprise and asked in confusion, “Are you talking to me?”

Meng Chuyuan: “Yes.”

The woman wanted to reject her goodwill, but she did not expect the bawling baby behind her to gradually stop because of Meng Chuyuan’s approach.

The little fellow, who was crying before, stopped crying. His expression was a little dull as he stared at Meng Chuyuan with her big watery eyes.

“What a cute little baby.” Meng Chuyuan’s eyes were filled with love when she saw the baby. Even her voice became much gentler.

The woman looked back at the child and heaved a sigh of relief. “My dear, you’ve finally stopped.”

The little thing whined twice, its four limbs swaying as if it was excited.

Meng Chuyuan stood at the side and smiled sweetly at the baby.

The child’s mother seemed to have sensed the little guy’s emotions and asked curiously, “Do you want to play with this sister?”

The baby was still young and did not have the ability to speak for the time being. However, the little guy stopped crying and throwing a tantrum when he saw Meng Chuyuan and became especially obedient.

[How magical. This child was still crying his heart out just now, but after seeing Sister Meng, he actually stopped crying.]

[Indeed, age doesn’t discern a person’s love for beauties, hahahahaha]

[Kid, I admire you.]

[Sister Meng has a way with children. Her children in the future will definitely be very happy.]

[Help!! I can almost see her becoming a mother in the future.]

[The people next door are busy with work while Sister Meng is busy taking care of the child. This is the first time I’ve been so envious of a child. Boohoo.]

Meng Chuyuan watched as the little guy raised his hand. She could not help but raise her arm and wrap the soft little hand in her palm.

The little thing seemed to be unsatisfied with this and quickly stretched out her other hand, seemingly asking for a hug. It was impossible to ignore.

Facing such a cute baby, Meng Chuyuan found it hard to refuse. “Can I hug her?”

“Sure.” The woman put the child down and handed it to Meng Chuyuan.

Meng Chuyuan carefully took the child into her arms and gently stroked the little guy’s back to make him relax.

The little thing did not seem to recognize strangers. The moment she threw himself into Meng Chuyuan’s arms, he revealed an innocent smile.

“How old is the baby?” Meng Chuyuan asked.

“About six months.”

“She’s so good-looking. She should be a girl, right?”

The child’s mother shook her head with a smile. “He’s a boy.”

Lu Jinsen poured half a bucket of water on the ground. When he came back to his senses, he realized that Meng Chuyuan was long gone.

He glanced around and finally saw Meng Chuyuan in the cornfield on the side.

Lu Jinsen could see the child in her arms from afar. That scene did not seem out of place at all.

For some reason, Lu Jinsen felt a little upset when he saw this.

Was he not obvious enough just now?

Couldn’t she see that he had a temper?

She went to coax other people’s children but was unwilling to say a word to him?

As soon as his emotions rose, Lu Jinsen splashed the remaining half of the bucket of water wantonly, not caring if the water was sprinkled on the seeds.

After completing this mission, Lu Jinsen called the villagers in charge over for an inspection. After completing the mission in the lead, their group won first place again.

Liao Jiake sowed the seeds and listened to Meng Chuyuan’s suggestion. She went to borrow water pipes from the villagers to water the plants. Unfortunately, the Qi siblings, who were last, had only started to sow the seeds after loosening the soil.

Unfortunately, the siblings couldn’t catch up even if they sped up. In the end, Liao Jiake got second place.

Seeing that the second place had been chosen, Qi Yan and Qi Zhen were like frosted eggplants. Their eyes became lackluster. After planting the seeds, they poured water on them and ended the matter hastily.

The director distributed the ranking rewards of each group. In addition, he also conducted a labor currency exchange segment for the guests.

As the dinner for the first place was provided directly by the production team, Lu Jinsen did not participate in the exchange this time. After receiving the labor coins, he saw that Meng Chuyuan had not returned, and his eyes were covered in a layer of frost.

Lu Jinsen waited for a while, but he could not wait any longer.

Meng Chuyuan did not realize that the mission was over, so she naturally had no intention of coming back. Therefore, Lu Jinsen could only come to look for her.

Perhaps it was because of Lu Jinsen’s sudden approach that the baby burst into tears.

Meng Chuyuan sensed that there was someone beside her. She turned her head and saw Lu Jinsen appear with a dark expression.

Because the baby was crying so hard, Meng Chuyuan focused all her attention on the little guy.

She looked down at the little guy in her arms and comforted him. “Don’t cry, don’t cry. Although this brother is ugly, he’s not a bad person.”

Lu Jinsen: “…”

She actually called him ugly!

After a long time, the baby’s cries gradually stopped.

Lu Jinsen glanced at Meng Chuyuan and said coldly, “It’s time to go back.”
